And in a moment that defined his legacy, he ensured that the gold medal would be his.
Once again, the U.S. reigns supreme in international men’s basketball, with Curry scoring 24 points to lead the team to a 98-87 victory over France in the final at the Paris Games on Saturday night. This marked the fifth consecutive gold medal for the U.S. and their 17th in 20 appearances at the games.
